Displaying the FC-43 Mass Spectrum
The first step in tuning and calibrating the mass spectrometer is to display the FC-43 mass
spectrum.
Y To display the FC-43 mass spectrum
1. Choose Start > Programs > Thermo Instruments > TSQ > TSQ Tune to open the EZ
Tune window.
2. Choose a polarity mode. In this example the mass spectrometer is in positive polarity
mode. If necessary, click the polarity button.
3. Click the Define Scan button to display the Define Scan dialog box. See Figure 33.
4. In the Define Scan dialog box, select or enter the following settings:
•Scan type: Full Scan
•Scan mode: Q1MS
• Scan range entry mode: FM/LM
• First mass: 50
•Last mass: 650
•Scan time: 0.500
